Look We too had issues, if you remember post 26/11, however we sorted out it in months and we are on track. No one knows when the issues are to be solved, even Obama. Our cricketers came to your country and had good time, so some things you will have to accept.

With only 8 top teams playing cricket, the shameless guys have come up with quarter finals. It would have been an interesting case if they had semi-final and final and scrap quarter final.

Really..the 3 3 weaker teams from each group will make the competition very boaring.It is 99% sure that all the test teams except bangladesh(unless any surprise win) will qualify for quarter final.This is really not the stage for weaker teams to perform.the real world cup will start in the quarter final only.even if you see the fisrt round match fixtures it is not evenly arranged..worst format..look like 1996 world cup format

Good format, because 1. Any team can make a come back after losing 2 or 3 matches unlike where India and pak. lost early and knocked out early. 2. Even the smaller nations have 6 matches to show their performance, for which they have qualified from so many teams.

The smaller nations will make the format the worst by their worst performances as they always do. Where is the challenge for the top teams till Quarter finals? If there is no challenge then all the matches leading to Quarter finals are waste.

Dont underestimate anyone specially in wc. Remember 03 kenya in sf and 07 Ban and Ireland in super 8s. After all its wc, that's why I mentioned they have qualified from lots of teams of icc.

This is nothing to underestimate any small nation. But if you proper estimation, then you will know the answer. WC should not be conducted in a boring format. 03 Kenya - we know how they managed to get there.
All the best India, however India are in an easy group, but very tough quarter-final opponents. Hoping for Indian Cricket Management to focus more on likely QF opponents, as first round is just a formality. There is just no margin for error, in QF, as it is KO round. We have to be first mentally tough, do not think too much of public expectations and thus taking too much pressure, which normally happens when we play in India, improve fielding skills which should be above average. Some tough decisions to be made by BCCI to get things right and put a solid and competitive performance in the WC.
Seeing their inconsistency in performance... they must be worried for Bangladesh too... im not the big critic but bunch of them feel more lik celebrity n less towards performance
